BJP hits back at Karnataka CM over 'terrorist' tag

A day after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah linked the BJP, Bajrang Dal and VHP to terrorism, he appears to have taken a step back, and clarifed that he was referring to "Hinduva terrorism".

Addressing a rally in Karnataka yesterday, Shah charged the state government with perpetrating atrocities against BJP and RSS workers, claiming 20 of them were killed in the state over the last three years.

The battlelines are being clearly drawn for the fast approaching Assembly polls with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and BJP national president Amit Shah making no-holds barred attacks on each other on Wednesday.

The remarks from the Prime Minister's comment came in the backdrop of a bitter war of words between the two chief ministers on Twitter.

Calling Siddaramaiah "irresponsible" for linking the party built by Atal Bihari Vajpayee with terrorists, BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje today alleged that "if there is terrorism in this country today, Congress is the main reason for it, also for the situation in Kashmir". "I called them Hindutva extremists because I, too, am a Hindu". That is the difference between me and.

"This government is practicing vote-bank politics and it is anti-Hindu".

Karnataka Home Affairs Minister Ramalinga Reddy said the Congress was willing to face any complaint as the party can substantiate the chief minister's statement, the Hindustan Times reported. It is unusual to say that anti-Hindu.

Shah further said the Siddaramaiah Government in the state had deprived the people of the state from the benefits of the money that was meant for their welfare.

Senior state BJP leader and MLA Suresh Kumar tweeted in Kannada, "When will I get arrested?"
